lyrics
Something in that fridge smells like shit, she said
I think you better come check this out
But I can’t leave my bed, there’s a ringing in my head
An invariable constant I wish I could drown out
She asked hey, how’s your day?
What’d your dad have to say?
Did you ever get your taxes straightened out?
I think I’m alright but I ain’t sleeping much at night
And as I lay there I ask myself
How come?
Only after you’ve gone
I think of what I’d like to say
Are you just playing along
Until you think of what you’d like to say?
Is today going to be the day? The one where my dreams come true?
I am haunted by a re-occurring vision where I no longer mean a thing to you
It’s been going on a while, so long it’s almost out style
This little fatuous affair of ours
But something’s not quite right, it’s as if we never fight
And as the car door closes, I ask myself
How come?
Only after you’ve gone
I think of what I’d like to say
Are you?
Just playing along
Until you think of what you’d like to say?
Is today going to be the day? The one where my dreams come true?
I am haunted by a re-occurring vision where I no longer mean a thing to you (2x)
I’m your biggest fool
A never failing pair of ears
I’m the premiere next best thing to come along in a short while
I’d wait day and night
Just to be told stay home
I’m the top-shelf placeholder until you decide what you’re looking for
You say I’m exceptionally okay
But to all of your friends I’m “bad news”
I’m a perfectly good piece of damaged goods
Ripe on the vine, just biding my time
